Rows are counted from the top and columns from the left, so R1C1 is the top-left square. Small numbers show the order the queens are found.

Queens #751 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. Queen on R2C3 Orange

    1. The Yellow region is boxed into row 6. That row belongs to it, so cross out R6C1, R6C2, R6C3, R6C6, R6C7 and R6C8.

    2. Notice that the Gray region only has candidates in column 2. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R1C2, R2C2, R3C2 and R4C2.

    3. Only R2C3 is still free inside the Orange region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 2, column 3, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 14 cells disappear.

  2. Queen on R1C1 Purple

    1. The Blue region is boxed into row 8. That row belongs to it, so cross out R8C1 and R8C2.

    2. Look along row 1: the only candidates left are Purple. Since the line needs a queen, Purple cells elsewhere (R3C1, R3C8, R4C1, R4C8, R5C1, R5C8, R7C1 and R7C8) can be crossed out.

    3. Column 1 has exactly one open square left, R1C1, and it belongs to the Purple region. That is where the queen goes. After the usual cleanup (row 1, column 1, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 4 cells disappear.

  3. Queen on R8C8 Blue

    1. Scan column 8: everything except R8C8 is already blocked, so the Blue region takes its queen there. 5 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  4. Queen on R7C2 Gray

    1. Look along column 7: the only candidates left are Green. Since the line needs a queen, Green cells elsewhere (R7C4, R7C5 and R7C6) can be crossed out.

    2. Row 7 has exactly one open square left, R7C2, and it belongs to the Gray region. That is where the queen goes. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 1 candidate.

  5. Queen on R4C4 Brown

    1. Column 6 can only be filled by the Red region. That pins the Red queen to this line and removes R3C5 and R5C5.

    2. A queen on R4C6 would wipe out the Green region completely, which can never happen in a valid answer. Cross it off.

    3. Test R4C7 in the Green region: a queen there would attack every remaining Red cell. Red would be left empty, so R4C7 is out.

    4. Row 4 can only be filled by the Brown region. That pins the Brown queen to this line and removes R5C4.

    5. A queen on R4C5 would wipe out the Red region completely, which can never happen in a valid answer. Cross it off.

    6. Only R4C4 is still free inside the Brown region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 4, column 4, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 1 cell disappears.

  6. Queen on R6C5 Yellow

    1. The Yellow region has nowhere else to go: R6C5 is its last legal square. 1 cell drops out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  7. Queen on R3C6 Red

    1. Every other cell of the Red region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R3C6 for its queen. That rules out 1 more cell across row 3, column 6, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  8. Queen on R5C7 Green

    1. The Green region is the only color still waiting, and R5C7 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.

So the answer to Queens #751 is R1C1, R2C3, R3C6, R4C4, R5C7, R6C5, R7C2 and R8C8.

Which colors matter most?

Yellow is the smallest region with 2 cells (queen on R6C5); Purple is the largest with 21 cells, and its queen sits on R1C1.

Game Rules

Master these rules to solve any Queens puzzle

  • One Queen Per Color

    Each colored region must contain exactly one queen.

  • No Attacks

    Queens cannot attack each other horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

  • No Adjacent Queens

    Queens cannot touch each other, even diagonally.

Solving Strategies

Pro tips to solve puzzles faster

  • Mark Conflicts

    Use X marks to indicate where queens cannot be placed due to row, column, or diagonal conflicts. This visual aid helps narrow down options.

  • Process of Elimination

    If a color region has only one available cell after considering all conflicts, place the queen there with confidence.

  • Check Diagonals Carefully

    Diagonal attacks are easy to miss. Always check all 8 surrounding cells when placing a queen to ensure no conflicts.

  • Work Row by Row

    Focus on completing one row at a time. This systematic approach reduces mistakes and makes the puzzle more manageable.
